Collaros’s nine missed games in two seasons make his return a roster-level reset, not just

Zach Collaros missed five games in 2025 and four more in 2026 before returning for the Week 11 matchup with Ottawa. With Winnipeg’s offence under-performing through the first eight games, getting him back is the franchise’s most impactful transaction this week — especially because his activation gives the new Tommy Condell offence its first sustained run with QB1 as the starter.
